Answer:

The answer is 0.023 moles of phosphorus

Explanation:

The 15-15-15 fertilizer is a fertilizer of great versatility, made with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which makes it one of the fertilizers most used for fertilizer in the sowing plant, thus covering the crop requirements from planting. .

This fertilizer consists of 14.25% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). Therefore, we have to remove 14.25% at 10 grams of 15-15-15 fertilizer to calculate the moles of phosphorus. As follows:

Grams of P2O5 = 10 g x 0.1425 = 1.425 g

We calculate the molecular weight of phosphorus. We use the periodic table:

Phosphorus molecular weight = 2 x 30.97 = 61.94 g/mol

Now we calculate the moles of phosphorus in the fertilizer:

Phosphorus moles = 1,425 g/61.94 g/mol = 0.023 moles

If electromagnetic radiation has a frequency of 2.0×1015s−1, what is the radiation’s energy?(1 point)
Alika [10]
  • Frequency=v=2×10^15Hz
  • Energy=E

Using planks quantum theory

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=hv

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 2\times 10^{15}s^{-1}

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=13.252\times 10^{-19}J

\\ \sf\longmapsto E=1.3\times 10^{-18}J

Capsaicin, the compound that gives the hot taste to chili peppers, has the formula C18H27NO3. Its molar mass is 305.42 g/mol. Ca
stellarik [79]
Molar mass = 305.42 g/mol

C = ( 12 x 18 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 70.72 % of C

H = ( 1 x 27 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 8.84 % of H

N = ( 14 x 1 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 4.58 % of N

O = ( 16 x 3 / 305.42) x 100 => 15.71% of O

hope this helps!

2) what is the mass of 6.02 x 1023 atoms of arsenic?
zzz [600]
Data:
Arsenic Molar Mass = 74,9216 ≈ 75 u (<span>atomic mass unit)</span>

Solving:

1 mole of arsenic → 75g ------------ 6,02*10²³ molecules
..................................X -------------- 1 molecule

6,02*10²³X = 75
x = \frac{75}{6,02*10^{23}}
\boxed{x \approx 1,24*10^{24}grams}
